Below is given the result of Mondays elections in some of our neighboring Mas. sachusetts towns. In addition to these Palmer had 8 special town meeting. at which $1 ,000 was appropriated to prose cute under the recent no-license vote, and an efficient committee of known temper ance workers chosen to enforce the prohl. bitlon. $500 was voted to pay for the compiling of history of the town, and $5, 900 for soldiers memorial, and $300 to the G. A. R. post for aid of soldiers aud their families. In Monson the fight was chiefly for license, Pa.mers defeated rum sellers taking warm interest in helping their brethren in Monson to victory to offset their own defelt But the staunch old town held true to it's traditions, and did not disgrace itself with vote to legal ize drunkard-making
